Kayuyu is a settlement in Maniema province, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Kayuyu is in the Pangi Territory of Maniema province.Kayuyu is capital of the Wakabango 2 sector. It is from Kindu.Pangi Territory is mostly occupied only by Lega people.In May 1999 a Mai-Mai resistance force including Lega groups from Kayuyu, Kampene and other towns threatened Kindu.

In March 2021 a citizens' group accused the head of Wakabango 2 of selling state land in Kayuyu to private citizens.He denied the charges.
The RN31 highway runs from Kindu to the north through the town to Kasongo to the south.It is joined in the town by the RS1122 highway from Kampene to the east.Kampene is a center for informal artisanal gold mining.The Kayuyu–Kampene road often floods during the rainy season and prevents villagers reaching markets and health facilities.On 3 May 2013 the Comité de développement Ibaibawub de Kavula (Codibakav) launched a four-month program to rehabilitate the road between Kampene and Kayuyu.This would help transport of food between the villages along the road.
